Two New Teslas Announced

Despite bottlenecked production lines for the highly anticipated Model 3, Tesla managed to announce two new vehicles on November 16, 2017 in Los Angeles. First Elon Musk brought out the long awaited semi truck which shocked the world with it’s statistics. Then he brought out another surprise, a fully remodeled, all new roadster. Both look fantastic and sound incredible, but will the slow-to-market company be able to pull it off? Here are some fast facts and photos of the Tesla Semi Truck and Tesla Roadster.
